Rapid advances in electronics, sensors, computation, wireless systems, artificial intelligence, and neurotechnology are creating a new generation of medical solutions that interact directly with the body’s electrical and physiological control systems. Collectively described as bioelectronic medicine, these technologies offer the potential to complement—and in some applications overcome important limitations of—traditional pharmaceutical approaches by providing interventions that can be spatially targeted, dynamically adjusted, continuously monitored, and personalized to an individual patient’s physiology.
This Master Class will provide a broad introduction to the rapidly evolving field of bioelectronic medicine from the perspective of electrical and computer engineering. It will examine how technologies familiar to engineers—including low-noise sensing, embedded computing, signal processing, machine learning, wireless communications, miniaturized stimulation electronics, wearable devices, and closed-loop control—are being translated into new diagnostic and therapeutic platforms. Examples will range from cardiac pacemakers and cochlear implants to deep-brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, transcranial stimulation, peripheral nerve interfaces, and digital biomarkers. Particular attention will be given to the transition from open-loop stimulation toward sensor-guided, closed-loop bioelectronic medicine, in which physiological measurements provide real-time feedback for optimizing stimulation parameters and tracking therapeutic responses. The Master Class will also explore why engineers are increasingly central to the future of medicine. Biological systems present unusual engineering challenges: signals are weak and noisy, anatomy and physiology vary substantially between individuals, neural systems are nonlinear and adaptive, and successful devices must operate safely at the interface between electronics and living tissue. These challenges are generating opportunities for innovation across semiconductor technology, MEMS and wearable sensors, electrode design, power management, computational modeling, AI, cybersecurity, human-machine interfaces, and systems engineering.
The Master Class will conclude with a look toward the next generation of bioelectronic medicine: intelligent therapeutic systems and digital twins capable not simply of measuring disease or delivering predetermined stimulation, but of continuously sensing physiological state, interpreting changes in biological function, and adapting interventions to promote recovery and maintain health. For electrical and computer engineers, this emerging field represents an opportunity to apply core engineering disciplines to some of the most consequential challenges in human health.

The workshop will focus on recent advances in analytical methods and instrumentation that address near-term particle metrology challenges identified in the 2024 IRDS Roadmap.
Near-Term Metrology Challenges
Challenge
Description
#5 — Slurry Particle Characterization
Insufficient metrology capability and other impurity monitoring.
Need reliable LPC metrology that can measure targeted particle sizes and concentrations that ignore MPS sizes and do not require sample dilution to obtain the measurement.
#9 — Post-CMP (pCMP) Cleans Particles
Some pCMP cleans have volatile or highly reactive ingredients that form bubbles, requiring new metrology to differentiate bubbles from real particles. Cleans containing surfactants form micelle particles that must be distinguished from foreign particles.
#16 — Particle Precursor Metrology < 10nm
Need better understanding of particle precursors and critical concentrations to form particles, and the relationship between species/concentration and particle size.
